Story

Cimrian cats originally from the Isle of Man, but according to the breeding program came from Canada and are relatives of Manx cats. They are obtained by sampling kittens with specific features from Manx cats litter, and the feature is long and half-long wool. In addition, it can be noted the absence of a tail, as in pets from the Isle of Man. Yes, that’s right, Cimrian cats – tailless. Although, by and large, they still have a small tail there is.

The name of the cats comes from the word in Gaelic, meaning Wales. It is believed that Kimriki appeared in the result of mating Norwegian forest cats and Manx but no authentic confirmation. Cimrian cat is controversial breed, as many world felinological organizations do not recognized as an independent. However, others, on the contrary, recognized Cimriks in 1990.

Moreover, kimrik always has his own favorite toys that he – attention – loves to carry. Unusual, isn’t it?

These cats are very touching, they like to “talk” quietly, using the whole variety of intonations. But it rarely goes into unpleasant moody screams, more often, it’s an emotional conversation with members families. The kimrik cat has a flexible mind and is very smart, so close cabinets and doors tightly. However, in in some cases even this will not help, as these cats sometimes may even open latches.

Kimrik can distinguish a specific person among family members, as his “main” master. It is this person who will receive all love and affection on an unlimited scale and enjoy the greatest authority. But there are many individuals who give each member of the family equally. Predict here how the identity of the cat will develop, impossible.

In general, kimriks perceive children well, but until that moment until the child begins to treat the cat as a toy. With others pets usually have no problems. Closed circuits cats do not express attitude towards strangers.
